How to print and use mermaid coloring pages

The paper you use has a big impact on your coloring pages.

For best results, do not use whatever cheap copy paper is in the printer at work.

For a more enjoyable, fun coloring experience, print your coloring pages on 32lb bright white paper. This paper is thick, bright, and smooth for rich colors and easier blending. It's also thicker than "regular" paper, which means less chance of your child's markers bleeding through the page and staining their table...again.

You know how most kid's coloring books have rough, yellow paper that's annoying to color on? Your kids have noticed, too. They will appreciate the 32 lb paper and spend more time coloring when you use it.

My daughter’s favorite markers for coloring are Crayola Supertips. They’re affordable and fun for adults and children. They’re pretty washable and they’re available in a wide range of colors, including a set with 100 different shades. Supertips can color fine detail and make broad strokes, too.

My daughter’s favorite crayons are Honeysticks natural beeswax crayons. They do have a limited number of colors, but the colors are rich and creamy. They color well and are safe for children 1 year and older.

Honeysticks crayons are made in New Zealand from pure beeswax with food-grade colorants. If your child is still taste-testing their crayons, this brings a lot of peace of mind.

My husband loves coloring with gel pens, so of course our daughter wants to copy him. There are lots of very inexpensive gel pen sets available.

Unfortunately, many cheap gel pens don’t color, or write, very well. Purchasing a cheap set that doesn’t actually work is so frustrating. That’s why I wrote an entire post on the best gel pens for coloring. The two are my top picks. The budget pick is inexpensive and works surprisingly well.

If you want to use watercolor paints with coloring pages, you can run Canson watercolor paper through many printers. You may need to trim it down a little with a paper cutter first.

For wet media like paints, it's important to use a laser printer. If you don't have a laser printer at home, just take your files to a local copy shop, school, or library.

You can also run a page off on your home inkjet and then take that page to a copier. Copiers use on toner, not ink, so the design won't run and bleed when the page becomes wet.
